hi deejay,
the bowling club boys use the same guy we use. Which means it gets sent up to sydney, only hassle is from what they've told me they wouldn't know what to do with it being the bed knife and rivets so im trying to find somone who has maybe done one before.
looks like he sent that one to seven hills roller mowers, i'll have to give them a try this week
cheers
One of my old cylinder mowers is a Morrison that has a Ransome reel/blade system similar to, if not the same as, what you describe. I was reluctant to pull it apart so sent the entire thing to Seven Hills Roller Mowers in the Sydney western suburbs. The job they did on the sharpening was OK - the reel is good and the bed knife was sharpened while still riveted to the base plate - it had plenty of meat left on it. The main issues I had with them were the finishing (lousy paint job - new paint just sprayed over old paint and rust) and the fact that the unit was mis-assembled with the reel facing the other direction.
I've since rectified the issues and installed and set up the reel though I don't think that I'll ever use them again.
